Of its brightest ornaments and the family circle

from the proudest and noblest famlie, OF South

Prince Edward and Lady Churchill.

Prince Edward and Lady Churchill.
A special dispatch to the New York
World from London says:
"Some of the society papers have limited
at a scandal in high London society when
affected directly one of the members OF the
Royal family. Every one here understands
and talks freely about what none. OF the
English papers has ventured to more than
hint at. The story, stripped of all Its I'M
probable features, relates to temporary
separation between Lord Randolph Churcnlli
aud his wife. 1t is a question whether this
Lord Randolph Churchill resigned from the
Cabinet on account of this domestic
difference. 1t is understood, when his
now intends to do within few
weeks, that he will return to London, and
that place will again be made for him in
the Administration. 1t is said here that
Lord Randolph Churchill is very vain,
irritable and jealous individual, and that ne
went off in fit of rage to the Continent
on account of his having discovered that
Prince Edward of Wales. the eldest son of
the Prince of Wales, was infatuated with
Lady Churchill, and that his attentions to
her had given rise to much talk. This
young Prince, who is regarded rs the next
English King, since every one believes that
the Queen will outlive the Prince OF
Wales, is q youth of very feeble mind and
is the constant butt of all the radical
papers He is only three and twenty and
is such typical dude in his manners and
dress that he is known among radical writer's
as collars and cuffs The young Prince
was ordered off to Malta just after Lord
Randolph ChurchilPs departure. He was
detached from the Prince of Wales own
regiment, the Tenth Hussars, and ordered
to Join the Sixtieth Rifles. He left LAST
week under the guardianship Of Capt. Gre.
Vile and one other equerry. This IS the
first time, it is said, that the heir presump-
tive to the throne has been sent off on for
eign duty. The young man has evidently
been put through severe course OF disci-
pline. He has been lectured by his grand
mother, the Queen, and by his father and
mother. The malady of the young Prince is
regarded simply as a severe case of calf
love- Lady Randolph Churchill is blamed
by no one beyond the point that she should,
perhaps, have snubbed the young man before
he had made such public exhibition of his
sentiments. She evidently was restrained
by her regard for his father and mother
The proof that there is not the slightest
blame to be attached to Lady Randolph is
shown in the very gracious reception given
to her by the Queen at the last drawing
room and by the very marked attentions
which have been paid to her by the Prince
and Princess of Wales since Lord Ran
dolphs departure. Every one blames the
latter for his absurd Jealousy, and charges
his foolish departure to the Continent to his
excessive vanity and irritability. He is the
butt OF number of jokes since it has been
discovered that he has been quarantined in
a small place in Italy for the last month,
owing to his having passed through o rural
district in Sicily which was infected with
cholera"
